* I'm an insured and bonded dog professional offering high-enrichment dog walks in Washington, D.C. * I work with one dog at a time: exercise, food and medication administration, training, engaging play, and physical recovery exercises. * I relish every aggressive kiss from a Pittie, every skeptical growl from a new Beagle friend, and each request for fetch from a high-energy mutt. I have extensive experience with dogs of all ages and a wide range of behavioral and medical sensitivities. I've worked with extra-large dogs, such as Mastiffs, and working dog breeds, like Australian Shepherds, as well as a puppy dachshund named Tillie, who prefers miniature tennis balls. I'm patient and flexible. * 30 or 60 minutes for a dog walk? In most cases, I encourage folks to book 60-minute slots. The hour means a longer walk and additional tasks: I can focus on each dog's behavioral needs, reinforce training goals, take a break for water, feed them, administer medication, and coordinate enrichment activities like treat hide-and-seek. For the 60-minute appointment, I like to let dogs choose which direction they walk and let them sniff as long as they want, as long as they're not eating something or trying to bark at their neighborhood nemesis. * The 30-minute slot works best for the basics: an easy dog with straight As on the behavioral report card, who needs a short jaunt around the neighborhood.
